Question

Angle mIJK=180, angle mIJU = 3x-7, and angle mUJK=17x + 7 find angle mIJU

Answer 1

Answer:

The measure of angle IJU is 20 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find that, we need to add the two angles together and set equal to 180 degrees. Then we can solve for x.

(3x - 7) + (17x + 7) = 180 ----> Combine like terms

20x = 180 -----> Divide by 20

x = 9

Now that we have this, we can stick the value into the equation and solve for IJU.

IJU = 3x - 7

IJU = 3(9) - 7

IJU = 27 - 7

IJU = 20
